Have you read Veronica, by Mary Gaitskill?
Have you read Veronica, by Mary Gaitskill? If not that one, any other by Gaitskill? I get to select our book for next month’s book club, and while I’ve been eagerly waiting my turn, finding out that I’m up next has thrown me into a bit of a tizzy. I realized anew just how personal reading choices are, and while I’m pretty sure it would be impossible to pick a single book that would appeal to this whole crowd, I’d like to select something that would grab them. It’s a bunch of really smart professional women, and I’m the oldest, and the only mother. My boss is in the group, as are three co-workers and one former co-worker.
So I’m thinking Veronica might be interesting, but I’d sure like to hear from anyone who’s read it.
Sorry I can’t help: haven’t read it yet. But you make me feel like finding it on Amazon.
At the moment I’m reading Stieg Larsonn’s Millenium trilogy (yeah, I know, everybody has read it already!)
I haven’t read those! I think I’m the only person who hasn’t read them yet.
Alas, I’m no help to you here; I haven’t heard anything about her or the book… Book club is hard that way — you never know what will make the group happy (and sometimes they end up liking the oddest things!). Good luck!
